Comparative analysis of the efficacy of a transverse process bone graft with other bone grafts in the treatment of single-segment thoracic spinal tuberculosis
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research Sep 11, 2019
He Z, et al. - Transverse bone grafting (TBG) was undertaken in 30 patients (group A), iliac bone grafting (IBG) was carried out in 28 patients (group B), and titanium mesh grafting (TMG) was performed in 36 patients (group C) in order to contrast the clinical efficiency of a new bone grafting method—TBG—with IBG and TMG in the treatment of single-segment thoracic spinal tuberculosis. In group A, the operative times was significantly shorter than in groups B and C. In group A, significantly shorter hospital stay was noted, in comparison with groups B and C. The intraoperative blood loss in group A was significantly less compared with groups B and C. The visual analog scale score, Oswestry dysfunction index, ESR level, CRP level, Cobb angle of kyphosis, and intervertebral height of the impacted segment were significantly enhanced in comparison with those prior to the surgery. Therefore, for the treatment of single-segment thoracic spinal tuberculosis, the new interbody fusion technique using transverse process bone grafting is a secure, dependable, efficient, and ideal bone grafting method.
